it makes the whole Vid even more intense.
Thank you!
ETA~ Learning from reading the thread that what Carlin said was used out of context.
So I wonder if he would be blaming "both sides" now?

(4,447 posts)The video in the OP took Carlin out of context, and although it ties in nicely with the images, its intellectually dishonest. As much as Carlin in the OP video gets liked by people here, his save the planet shtick might as well have been commentary right off of Fox News. Dont do anything about the environment. Species die anyway. Carlin never bothered with the easy corollary that if species are threatened by humankinds actions, then humankind can save them by acting differently. Carlin, however, would still be on the sideline scorning it all.
Carlin was not one of us. Carlin wasnt a Democrat. He detested the Democratic Party. Frankly, I think he was an anarchist/nihilist. The second any kind of movement got organized, Carlin would call it a tool of them and treat it as something they were using to control us. He was the embodiment of both-siderism.
Frankly, I miss Robin Williams far more.

(89,250 posts)time public official. Was he just like those people they showed in this video ?
It's important to make differences clear.
I always hated the "all politicians lie and are the same" thing because it's lazy and an excuse for one's own selfish lack of concern for others.

(23,545 posts)He meant republicans and democrats.
Cha
(297,240 posts)he was a both sides do it person.
That's just wrong... wonder what he would have to say about trump and the Dems trying to save our Democracy?

(42,862 posts)Boo. He's lumping-in Democrats with that. This "both sides" bullshit needs to stop. It didn't serve us well in 2016, and it won't help us in 2020.
